I agree - hard to get - like the Virginia Flake with Perique - but fine tobaccos.

Pegasus in a Rossi Mezzanotte. Finished this jar off, I have some bulk in the cellar with 7 months on it. Have to get that out next. 
1) The sample of Winchester you gave me (Feb Pipe Club), I filled my Savinelli Capri Oom Paul that night. I've let it "age" for over 2 weeks until tonight, then picked it out. I had enough to fill my Peterson System Standard 301 (Donegal Rocky) with enough left over for another bowl. My review on first ever try = Hey, this must be an aberration because it really can't be as good as it was (?!). Smoked & burned well, great taste, wonderful. I'll try the second bowl in a Canadian just to hold its feet to the fire & try it again. My own "made up Winchester" .... some of your Union Square mixed with Rattray's Black VA .... while very good isn't quite the same.
2) Re: "Craig's Smyrna", I haven't tried it straight, but have been having fun adding it to some VA's & some VaPer's.
Like Jackie Gleason's famous quote .... "How. Sweet. It. Is."
How was that Toscano? Worth the extra $$?
Savinelli Essenza Cipriota from June 2014 in a Dunhill Millennium Shell from 2000
Royal Twist in a Stanwell 1989 something or other. Don't remember where or when I got this pipe and had forgotten about it until it turned up this evening.
I definitely will @PaulRVA , here is a pipe smoking story from my trip. The inn I stayed at did not allow any smoking on the premises. When I met the gal in charge I asked her “where exactly are the borders so I can legally smoke my pipe with my morning coffee?” She looked at me and said “ I love pipes, my dad smoked a pipe and I sometimes do” we proceeded to have a conversation about pipes, I actually showed her some of the great pipes on the WAYS forum and she was mighty impressed. She had many questions and ended up telling me to just smoke on my balcony which the pics are from that I posted and just be discreet. So a victory for pipe smoking. There are people that still appreciate it. I saw this old sailor at Anchor Bay
Passing the half way mark of this bowl of 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
That’s awesome! Beautiful country up your way. I was taken away by the scenery and wished I had more time to spend kicking around. Unfortunately I was there for work,
Which meant a King Air was running the tab and dictating the time spent on the ground and a return to the East Coast. I have to get back in the future now that work is no longer an issue.
Sillem's Councilor in a Castello le dune great line.
Puffing the Morgan Bones tonight, this time with some Cornell & Diehl Pegasus. A great blend any time of day if you ask me!
Now smoking year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Watching a Tim Nolt western.
Exclusive in the Rossi Mezzanotte before bed. Watching the original Highlander. "There can be only one!" 
SWRA in a Kaywoodie Shellcraft bent billiard.
Coniston Cut Plug in a clay. Smokes better after being rubbed out more!
Going to use my drawings of the Tap House in a "Save The Tap" petition.

WWC Simply red in a Stanwell. 
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Pegasus with a few months on it.
Pegasus from '22 in a Kai Nielsen for me tonight
Glad you enjoyed. I'll bring plenty next week.
I recently learned that the Cavendish in Winchester is Dominican Cigar leaf.
